Your burning blog design FAQs, answered.

You’ll get a custom, professional blog design that you can hand to a developer to turn into a working blog. Typically this means a web-ready Adobe Illustrator file, Adobe Photoshop file, PDF file or EPS file in RGB format. Plus you’ll get web-ready preview files (like a JPG or PNG) so you can see your final design instantly.

You’ll also get the full legal copyright, so the design will be all yours.

Lots of ideas! If you’re looking for inspiration, explore 99designs for fantastic examples of blogs created by our design community.

Bring as many specifics as you can, too. Include brand details (e.g. colors, fonts), style suggestions, designs you like, information about your business or writing, product photos and any other specifications that would affect your design.

The more you give the designers, the better they can design a page for you!

Yes. If you have any specific images that need to be included with your blog design (like photos or a logo), please submit them to designers with your brief.

Unless you request otherwise, your designer may also use stock images (purchased from a third party) in your website design. They will not use stock imagery in your logo. If a designer uses stock art in the web design, they’ll tell you which images they are and use watermarked versions of them in their entries. Once you choose the winning design, you’ll need to purchase the stock art and provide it to the winning designer so they can complete the design.

When you purchase a blog design package, you’ll choose one unique page design to keep. If you need additional graphics or web pages, you have a couple of options: you can run a second contest, or you can start a 1-to-1 Project with your winning designer to create the new designs.

Of course! We actually encourage you do so. You can use our 1-1 projects product to continue to work with your winning designer on other design projects (for an additional cost).

On 99designs, designers agree to upload only original artwork, so each designer owns the rights to their design submissions until you choose your contest’s winner. During the design handover stage, the designer agrees to transfer the rights, and you become the owner of the copyright of your winning blog design.

We guarantee that you’ll get a great blog design at any pricing level, but our higher-priced packages give you more design options and better support.

Here’s how it works: When you pay more, the prize for the winning designer is bigger, too. More experienced designers participate in your contest, so you get more high-quality designs to choose from. More options means additional time that's needed to review your designs. That’s why our Gold and Platinum packages offer dedicated managers to help streamline that process by writing creative briefs and giving your designers feedback.

When selecting your blog design contest package, think about how much time you’ll have and what experience you have writing briefs and working with designers. If you're still unsure, contact us for a design consultation.

Choose “Make your contest private” from the Contest options section before you launch your blog design contest. This will prohibit designers from using their designs elsewhere, and your contest will be unsearchable on the web.

This will automatically attach a standard NDA template to your contest. If you prefer, you can also upload your own NDA.

We offer a 100% money-back guarantee within 60 days of payment on all Blog Design Contests, except those with a guaranteed prize and those that have entered the Final Round. You can also call us anytime to help you rewrite your brief, reopen your project to ensure you get a good result, and help you pick a winning design. Remember, if we refund your contest, you aren’t legally entitled to use any of the designs submitted to your contest.
